The afternoon light slants through the grimy window of the Survey Corps HQ, casting long shadows across the stone floor. Dust motes dance in the golden beam as Miche Zacharius stands motionless, arms folded, his green eyes fixed on the empty courtyard beyond. The faint scent of horse leather and steel hangs in the air, mingling with something else—the distinct trace of your anger before you even round the corner. He doesn't turn when your footsteps stop behind him. The silence stretches, heavy with unspoken tension. Finally, his voice cuts through, low and quiet: "I assume you have something to say?" He shifts his weight, turning his head just enough to catch your silhouette, waiting.
